is it sustainable. silica is limited. earth is limited. electric batteries, chips, transformers, semiconductors are made up of silica. we can't sustain such projects as its raw material is rarely available.
Like once in life I would like to meet you sir. Huge fan of your work and sarcasm😅 Learned a lot from you so you deserve Guru Dakshina 🙏(I am serious here )
Yeah, I remember the Constellation program. I even built a 3d model of the landing module back and sold it on Turbosquid. Doesn't sell well anymore for obvious reason.😢
i dont think space missions are costly 1.5 billion ISRO budget is less than $2 per citizen in india ,less than a movie ticket ,it is acceptable for 1 flagship mission per year
thats not how buddget works as tax is collected from a very small group & had to be spent on expencive things like ,FUEL , ARMY , Health , Education after that SPACE & then its like what is more important doctors or astronaut ?? its not as easy
@@s2tenglish yeah i understand that but from a common people perspective 1.5 billion spending look lika a huge waste of money, but a common people easily spend that money in movies every year, if ISRO spend 1 or 2 million to add a good PR i am happy to watch that , it is like a movie once a year.

Can we build a trompe and add it to this system before the water is supplied to end users and create electricity? I've often felt that with so many rivers in India and the interlinking project in the works, couldn't we generate electricity using trompes? As an additional benefit, since a trompe also dissolves some oxygen into the water that continues to flow back into the river, once it has exited the device, wouldn't this make the water cleaner and help the growth of aquatic life in the river - including edible fish? Given the drilling technologies we have available now, the holes we'd need for a trompe producing a decent amount of energy would be of a relatively trivial depth.
I also liked your seaweed for biofuels episode and agree with you on it being one of the only feasible paths to sustainable fuel. However, I believe we are also missing out on onshore potential. Hear me out. India has lakhs of kilometres of rivers, highways and railway tracks. The embankments on all three need to be structurally sound. Certain fast growing grasses - such as Vetiver - grow roots as deep as 12 to 15 feet and have the strength of mild steel. An embankment of 2 mts on either side - which is a very conservative estimate - would mean that each km would be equivalent to about an acre of growing area. That's a *lot* of biomass! Furthermore, water doesn't pass through a line of Vetiver, so by creating gaps that are directed to catchment areas, we could use highways and railway tracks as rainwater harvesting infrastructure. Vetiver can survive up to 2 months of freeze. So we could even use it to stop landslides and erosion in the Himalayas while harvesting biomass. Lastly Vetiver doesn't spread out of control naturally, it will go in the same straight line that it has been planted, indefinitely. So there's no danger of it being an invasive species.
Finally, what is your take on hydrothermal carbonization? Couldn't we use it to create value from our sewage as well as garbage? No need to separate wet and dry waste. Effective plastic disposal etc etc
Please make a video about hydraulic hybrids. I really feel that creating retrofit hydraulic hybrid systems for vehicles and the shift to biofuels - especially with seaweed based and biomass based production would be a gamechanger and possibly the only effective and feasible way to transition to sustainable transport.
i think why huge company like spacex do this type of stupidity in serious mission? please answer me they don't have common sense or common sence in not comaman in America
Because of people like you who are lazy and easily fall for "argument from authority" FACT 1 we are human NOT GODs we make mistake no matter experience ,position, rank ,money if Human are there so are FAULTS . NASA is responsible for 14 astronauts death even though they had whole engineering telling them that space shuttle was a dumb idea . Boeing killed 346 people in 2018 and 2019 just to save money while FAA was watching . billions of dollar burnt on Hyperloop even though eveyone who had "common sense " screaming on top of the lungs that this will never work . Whole human history is filed with rivers of blood because of people like you "argument from authority" . Fun fact NASA did and investigation many things where "OFF" that is why now contract is open for 2nd option which I covered in this short
Artificial Intelligence is really something which no one is taking seriously I think the accelerationism will go out of hand from even judiciary and government it can't be checked by today's system
Good video! You're so right about networking being trapped at 1Gbps as the standard. It's been like that since the early 2000's! That's just wild. Thanks for the great watch!
For my second NAS I learned what not to do. Using old PC hardware was not ideal from a power consumption footprint (100W idle yikes). Bought a HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 - 4 SATA slide bays with caddies - not too expensive compared to its 1U rack cousins but came with ECC memory support (ZFS) and a 15W AMD Opteron dual core CPU meant for low power server workload - just don't try media transcoding or AI on it. Also comes with two gigabit ethernet ports onboard so you can bond them (single IP) if you have multiple clients streaming/download from it.
@@s2tenglishFirst NAS was a laptop with USB external drive … used TrueNAS when it was based on FreeBSD but then switched to UnRAID as ZFS was too memory hungry Using XFS … bit rot is detected by running parity checks every 3 months
@@lalitpatil1056 I buy used or refurbished - new it is too pricy and it has been discontinued. Another option is previous generation with a similiar footprintand features is HP N36L microserver.

It's bizarre how most media will cover those things with barely a hint of skepticism, but seem to be often eager to be "impartial" and bring "skeptics" on themes like climate change. Not that all media gives undue credit to CC skeptics, though, but unfortunately there's a share of them that while will avoid BS like CC "skepticism," will be too gullible for alleged "green" things, not even the most super-high-tech stuff, but even old BS gets "recycled" every now and then, like cars using water as fuel and things like that. I'm not sure it was covered in this video, but I have the impression that I've seen somewhere that they'd be planning for geostationary orbits, at teh same time that the altitude they have is deemed incompatible with such orbits. But I don't know details, and maybe they're not planning a geostationary thing, I'm not sure. The sure thing is that it seems they're bound to waste a lot of investors' money and even make problems to innocent third parties if they go significantly ahead with it.
Thank you so much! Totally helped me out on deciding on either the FX6 or the NX800! NX800 it is! I do food festivals and as you know being outside can be very challenging. Once again, thank you.
In China they have made a suspended rail that uses the same concept, it uses passive magnets to levitate itself and use the rollers to stabilise and push itself forward or backwards, really it can only work on local transport but it can’t work on trams or high speed rail
I’ve done some more research onto the speed I was read an article called travel weekly by North Star and I was talking about the mag rail but I was talking about the speed, nevomo said in the article that the mag rail dose the 550km/h on high speed rail like the TGV and Japanese bullet train and not on standard railway, nevomo dose actually plan to also do standard railway and increase the speed to 300km/h, at the moment the TGV and the Japanese bullet train go 300km/h to 320km/h meaning it would be a 72% to 83% increase in speed which is really not that wild, the only question if hovering 20mm above a track can achieve it on a turn, also to answer you question on how they powering it they used electric coils to propel the liner motor, they plan to do this on regular non maglev trains to by fitting liner motors to the bottom. Here’s the article I was talking about www.travelweekly.com/Travel-News/Car-Rental-News/Startup-runs-electrified-high-speed-rail-on-existing-track
Sir if your explanation of only rare events getting media coverage also implies that that the cases of railway accidents like the Tamil Nadu means that we are actually having less railway accidents in India
Great episode! I have for so long wondered why this isn't the norm for desalination, I even tried to see if there was some fundamental flaw I was unaware of that made it impractical, but haven't found any. I suspect applying a lot of heat to staged vacuum distillation system makes that significantly more compact, and controllable/reliable compared to relying on ambient temperature differences, but 8 C delta isn't that hard to find, in hot dry climates just evaporative cooling can produce much more than that most of the time.
Thanks for sharing this important technology! but... You assert that condensing water from air is not an abundant enough solution, this is incorrect. Essentially all our fresh water comes from condensing water from air in the form of rain. I have done the math on using the ocean thermocline as the cold source for condensation. It is half the cost of reverse osmosis and has zero brine. It shares the issue of LTTD that many areas do not have easy access to a large thermocline. I am a huge fan and wish you the best.
you are missing the forest for the trees . if in one location you have enough humidity for enough water extraction then its a prerequisite for a rainy season . it will not work in a dry area where u need it . This is why no one with a brain have tried it only scammer & missguided people . Read history of it how many time people have fallen for it ITS SAD
Atmospheric water harvesting is in a way kind of the same thing, but with around 100 air molecules for every water molecule, making it 100 times worse than low temperature vacuum distillation, in multiple ways. 100 times worse is a ballpark figure, that's assuming warm very humid air and significantly lower temperature of the heat sink. I you manage to extract 10 grams of water per cubic meter of air, you need to process 100 cubic meters of air to get a single liter of water. That water will contain air pollutants.
@@fishyerik Quite right. Here in California the air contains a bit less than 10g/cubic meter and of course you can't capture all of it. I estimate1720 cubic meters of air per gallon of water collected. This works out to 5 watt hrs per gallon for air flow while water pumping sea water needs an additional 20 watt hrs per gallon, so the air handling isn't really the problem. For various reasons you want to collect the air out over the ocean, lower pollutants is one reason and higher humidity is another.
@@s2tenglish You are correct that scammers and misguided folks have made the water from air topic a laughingstock. But it is incorrect to say that only brainless people have proposed it seriously. One paper from an Indian scientist can be found by searching for the words nariphaltan and dew. His only problem was his choice of a horribly inefficient condenser.
